It means that VA space size can be chosen. For example, there are
two VA size options, 39-bit and 48-bit, with 4KB pages. If 39-bit
VA space is not enough, 48-bit can be selected instead. The 5th patch
adds a 48-bit option to this choice blocks.

If 16KB pages are supported with both 47-bit and 48-bit VA size,
people could configure it in menuconfig.

In this context, I've written it down like page size.

I think Catalin's comment would be helpful.

Okay, I will change it.
